NECAP Testing

As you are aware, per the Rhode Island Department of Education, students in the class of 2014 and beyond, students must earn a score of partially proficient or above to earn a high school diploma.   All eligible members of the class of 2014 will take the NECAP at Mt. Hope High School beginning on October 1st.   The entire NECAP testing schedule was published earlier this week on the blog.

Due to the important nature of this test, we respectfully request that students and families minimize student absences during testing.    If there is a situation that is absolutely unavoidable that necessitates your child being absent during one of the testing days, in addition to calling the attendance office, please contact your child's guidance counselor.

One of the best things that test takers can do for themselves is to get a good night's sleep and eat a comfortably nutritious breakfast.    

If you have any questions, please contact your child's guidance counselor.



Reminder: College Informational Workshop

The College Informational Workshop will be held Thursday, September 20th at 6:30 in the Mt. Hope High School Library.    Senior, juniors and their families are encouraged to attend.
